Wind Storm Hits Southern State
Students, Office Seekers To Hear Election Results At Semi-Formal Tonight
Shades of the past election campaign will bow into the dark, and visions of the future student life will rise into brilliance at the semi-formal elections dance, at which names of victorious candidates will be announced, at the Riviera country club tonight. *-
Mingling in an atmosphere of expectancy will be hopeful students and anxious office - seekers, all awaiting the word of Tex Kahn, elections commissioner, as to who will occupy A. S. U. S. C. class, and college positions during the next year.
Scintillating rhythms by the orchestra of Bill Fleck will keep the dancers at high pitch until the announcement is made and will provide the incentive for gay celebration afterwards.
“Ticket salesmen must check In money collected to date and unsold bids—if they have any— before noon today,” stated Colston Morris, ticket chairman for the elections dance, yesterday.
“This is an order, not a mere wish,” he added.
Working with the intentions to “make this a night unforgettable to Trojans,” the dance committee has left nothing undone to provide a gay round of entertainment, according to Jaye Brower, chairman.
“Arrangements are being made to provide special entertainment,” committee members declared. “But efforts to provide the floor show are not yet complete, not justifying the issuance of a definite announcement,” they added.
“Bill Fleck’s orchestra is really a ‘big time band,’ ” stated Jack Warner, orchestra chairman. “Not only have Fleck and his musicians established their popularity in local circles, but they have a {Reared in motion pictures and have toured the Pacific coast, appearing on many university campuses in the Far West.”
Prospect Bright For Engineers
That engineering students now have better prospects of securing positions upon graduation than has ever been the case in the history of the S. C. College of Engineering, is the opinion of Philip S. Biegler, dean of the college.
Due to a recent demand for engineers, all of the graduates of the past four years, more than 200 altogether, have been placed in permanent positions, and a number of the 55 students who will be graduated in June have been offered jobs. The college has been unable to fill many demands for men trained in engineering.
There is a strong demand for undergraduates for summer work, also an unusual condition, according to Dean Biegler.
Dean Biegler believes that the change in frequency made by the Los Angels bureau of power and lightxis the most important factor in tm\ increased demand for en-gineersNHe also attributes the upturn to increased public works, especially hydroelectric projects, and to the revival of industrial activity. _
College of Commerce To Hold Banquet on May 15
“Afternoon conferences will be an added attraction to students of the College of Commerce,” stated Dean Reid S. McClung yesterday, as he outlined the program for the annual commerce banquet to be held on May 15. in the Foyer of the Town and Gown at 6:15 p. m.

First political test shots in tht campaign to carry California for j President Roosevelt were fired yesterday at a Democratic luncheon, at which Dr. Elmer Nelson, former University of California economics professor, was principal speaker.
In a sharply-worded attack on Republicans, Doctor Nelson declareo President Rocsevelt “alone possessed the courage to set up a recovery plan in the face of violent opposition.”

Scintillating rhythms by the orchestra of Bill Fleck will keep the dancers at high pitch until the announcement is made and will provide the incentive for gay celebration afterwards.
“Ticket salesmen must check In money collected to date and unsold bids—if they have any— before noon today,” stated Colston Morris, ticket chairman for the elections dance, yesterday.
“This is an order, not a mere wish,” he added.
Working with the intentions to “make this a night unforgettable to Trojans,” the dance committee has left nothing undone to provide a gay round of entertainment, according to Jaye Brower, chairman.

Prospect Bright For Engineers
That engineering students now have better prospects of securing positions upon graduation than has ever been the case in the history of the S. C. College of Engineering, is the opinion of Philip S. Biegler, dean of the college.
Due to a recent demand for engineers, all of the graduates of the past four years, more than 200 altogether, have been placed in permanent positions, and a number of the 55 students who will be graduated in June have been offered jobs. The college has been unable to fill many demands for men trained in engineering.
There is a strong demand for undergraduates for summer work, also an unusual condition, according to Dean Biegler.
Dean Biegler believes that the change in frequency made by the Los Angels bureau of power and lightxis the most important factor in tm\ increased demand for en-gineersNHe also attributes the upturn to increased public works, especially hydroelectric projects, and to the revival of industrial activity. _

By United Press.
First political test shots in tht campaign to carry California for j President Roosevelt were fired yesterday at a Democratic luncheon, at which Dr. Elmer Nelson, former University of California economics professor, was principal speaker.
In a sharply-worded attack on Republicans, Doctor Nelson declareo President Rocsevelt “alone possessed the courage to set up a recovery plan in the face of violent opposition.”
“In 1920 the federal reserve board predicted the nation’s complete industrial collapse, and set the date for December, 1929, ’ he said. “It notified its member banks. At that time, unknown except to a few. Franklin Rocsevelt, convalescing at Warm Springs, Ga., began a study of that prediction which led him to become the greatest living authority on American industry.
